Emergency Preparedness Information Bulletin from Mayor Shehady

In light of potential weather conditions and forecasts about “Sandy”, the Township of Springfield is actively monitoring the approaching major storm and we have initiated inter-departmental communication as well as talks with County, State and Federal officials to take the steps necessary at this time. We understand any concerns that may exist and we have the appropriate municipal officials at the ready to deal with the weather situation. Planning meetings are scheduled and information or details will be released as soon as they are available.

Residents are encouraged to check all pumps, chain saws, generators and other emergency equipment. Residents should visit the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management “Ready” website for hurricane preparedness.
